In case you are not familiar with Paris history, the original red light district of Paris was called 'Pigalle', it's a contraction of the words 'pig' and 'alley' - and it was made famous when the WWII American soldiers had leave in Paris. Even before that it was made famous by Toulouse Lautrec (sp?) in his paintings of Moulin Rouge in the early 1900's. Now . . . it's basically a tourist destination.There's really something wrong, when you walk by a shop like this one - and there's a 75 year old American tourist taking a picture in front of it...OK, so we did the same thing (obviously). But I hope you get my point.
